Hair haul - before and after dye

Before
After

 Good morning lovelies! As you all can probably tell I go through many phases of wanting my hair either blonde or dark brown and when I finally get it the right colour I dye it the opposite colour. Back in summer I attempted to go blonde with a bleach kit and my hair went yellow, I then dyed it an ash blonde which looked fine into the colour faded in the sun and it went an awful gingery colour, so I then dyed it dark brown. I really liked that colour but my hair never keeps the colour long and soon it was a funny mousy brown colour and so I decided I was going to Ombre it in an attempt to let my roots grow out whilst it looked like it was supposed to be like that! The Ombre looked nice at firs but that also faded quite a lot and I just didn't like it once that happened (which is why I never made the blog post about it). So after seeing many photos of lovely blonde hair on Tumblr I thought 'I want blonde hair for summer!'

I bought the Loreal preference dye in shade 0.3 lightest ash blonde, I did know that my hair was never going to be as light as the picture. There was also a 3 for 2 offer on in boots on all haircare items so I bought 3 John Frieda things, A lightening shampoo, a tone correcting shampoo and deep conditioning treatment.  I left the dye on for around 45 minutes as it suggests and the rinsed it out,  used the conditioner it comes with and rinsed that off, then finally I applied the john frieda deep conditioner and left that on for 15 minutes in the hope it would save my hair from too much damage!

My hair is definitely lighter but still not as light as I would like, so I'm going to dye it lighter again but not for a while as I don't want to frazzle my hair too much. The deep conditioner definitely did wonders too my hair as it feels so much softer and it also made it smell really nice. I am yet to try the shampoos but I could do a review on them once I've used them for a bit if people would like? But I am hoping they get rid of the slight brassy tones in my hair and lighten it just a small amount if anything.

  2. I feel how tingly my fingers are again; I used to be kind of addicted to dyeing my hair (it was black, brown, red, blonde...) but I managed to not die my hair for about 1 - 2 years.
    Now I have this ugly ash-blonde / grey hair colour and I'm pining for all those beautiful colours hair can have. :'D
    Lovely post! :)

  12. Your so lucky how you look amazing with any colour hair! The change in colour is quite subtle but looks so much better (in my opinion!) The copper tones are gone and it looks lovely and blonde :)
